They're definitely not free; doctors have to evaluate what Watson says, and if Watson is wrong a significant fraction of the time, then doctors will spend a lot of time and energy barking up the wrong tree.
- jfoutz 10y agoEh, it's a tool. Some are useful, some less so. I imagine this would be a tier two kind of thing. It's an unusual case, what suggestions does the robot have? Maybe something obscure and easy to forget.
- apathy 10y agoDoctors have to evaluate what patients say, too, and they're forgetful or clueless at least as often as anyone else. If the cost-benefit analysis favors having Watson (or whatever) around, great, if not, great, just another decision to make.
